edit: last sentence didn't sound right. Need to re-word it.
It still doesn't work.

People who blow over due to mouthwash would not only have to either hit a checkstop (which is unlikely on its own) or be pulled over for due cause, and upon failing the first test, would then have to also miraculously fail the second test (which the mouthwash would not cause a failure for).

Again, these are such bizarrely unique situations that you're worried about. Are you also worried that someone will fail a drug test because they ate 30 poppyseed bagels in one sitting? I mean it could happen, but the likelihood of it occuring is so incremental that most logical people wouldn't consider it a valid worry.
